Strathspey Camanachd has been given the news they hoped for as their application to join Marine Harvest North Division 3 has been approved by the Camanachd Association.

The club received a call from the Camanachd Association on Tuesday 31 January 2012 which confirmed that they will be included in the 2012 shinty fixture list which should be issued nest week.

The club has been preparing for senior shinty and recently had a training session led by Newtonmore second team co-manager Glen Tonkin.

They also have three pre-season friendlies planned and will face Kingussie on Saturday 11 February 2012 in what should be their first game on Freuchie Park (if the pitch is ready). They will then travel to Castle Leod to play Caberfeidh on 18 February 2012 and they round off their pre-season with a home game against Ballachulish on Saturday 25 February 2012.
